Ann Thorac Surg. 1987 Dec;44(6):653-5. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(10)62156-x.

Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma of the esophagus is a rare tumor: less than 10 cases have been reported. These pleomorphic neoplasms are sessile and arise in the submucosal glands of the esophagus. Described in this report is the long-term follow-up of an additional case, in which the resection was reinforced with a pectoralis major muscle wrap.
